Mustard Potato Salad

Potato salad is a classic salad that so many of us have on our menus in the summer and year round for picnics, bar-b-ques, and covered dish events. There are some meals that just call for that bowl of Grandma's Potato Salad. We grow potatoes in our garden and when we have the fresh potatoes from the garden to use in this salad it is heavenly, with a very special earthy flavor that the fresh potatoes have, this is a great Garden to Table recipe.

Everyone has their own recipe for a perfect potato salad, but not everyone has the luxury of having a potato garden in their backyard! How I wish I can grow potatoes on my own! The salad looks very delicious, will try out your variation some day :)

Love the inclusion of the mustard and hard boiled eggs in your potato salad, and how lucky that you can dig them straight out of the garden. You're absolutely right - there is no comparison in taste between a freshly dug spud and one that has been hanging around in your greengrocer's cool store for a while.

There is nothing better then fresh potatoes from the garden! This salad looks great! I would love for you to stop by and link up to Heavenly Achievements! It goes live every Monday! http://heavenlysavings.net/2013/09/heavenly-achievements-week-1-craft-recipe-diy-link-up/

Mmm your potato salad looks wonderful! Potato salad is one of my weaknesses, I could definitely eat it as a main dish, and not just a side!!!! This looks delicious, the mustard flavor sounds great in it!

THIS potato salad is making my tummy rumble tonight. Wishing I could reach into my computer and grab a bowl! Thank you for sharing with Simple Supper Tuesday. I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend, Miz Helen!

I always enjoy potato salads with hard boiled eggs! I love the dressing on your Mustard Potato Salad too, Miz Helen. There's nothing like potatoes fresh from the garden! Thank you for sharing your recipe with the Hearth and Soul hop. I've pinned it to our Hearth and Soul Recipes board and to my Salads board.
